Expecting some auto 10/10 because Naughty Dog and all that. I'm sure the game is a cracker though, let's do this!

So you have to complete the game twice on Survivor mode to get the plat.
Oy vey.

Might be. But we don't know yet if they'll stack. All completion trophies in the Uncharted games have stacked.

21/20 like Uncharted 2 or no buy.
I guess there is still question on that. If you complete a campaign on say hard, will it unlock Survivor+? And will that stack with non-NG+ trophies?

I wish there was an optional training level in every game where you can get a sense of the difficulty before playing.
I don't want an overly frustrating first play through so I think I'm going normal first with listening mode off. Hopefully its still challenging.

Good point. I assumed you'd have to complete the game on Survivor before being able to play Survivor+, but that might not be the case. I hope that's not the case. Don't mind multiple-playthroughs, but that's a bit much.

Looking good! Probably not wise to buy right away. I think a GOTY edition is obviously coming.
About the whole 2 teams thing: keep in mind that one of the people credited as the lead designer of UC3 is also the lead designer in tLOU.
I found UC3 a disappointment, but looking back, all of the game's issues were there because of a lack of proper dev time. Apart from gameplay/story issues, they shipped the game with busted controls and motion blur not working properly.

Well the 2 teams don't necessarily have to be completely alternated from each other. You can have bi-partisan game designer but can have 2 different artistic & sound teams. The fact that ND has 2 teams working shows how one area of the development could be completely idle once he/she/they are done. Efficacy really is the important issue here as they can save valuable time during mid-development and such especially when related team members have finished touching up their duties.
If it really is that long, this just moved up from "maybe buy later down the line" to "day one."

what do you mean new game+?
whats survivor with listen mode off? - what is listen mode guys?
New game+ is just when you complete the game and start a new game, stuff caries over from the completed game to the new game.
Survivor is the highest difficulty availabe. It unlocks once you beat the game on any difficulty.
Listen mode is a feature that you can use in the game by holding down R2 to view outlines of enemies around you.
Yep. From what I've read, while they do two projects simultaneously, the structure of the studio isn't really different than it was before. All artists, animators, modelers, programmers, etc. still work together in the same space. So it's not two studios separated across the building.
Nope, normal and no listen mode.

Do we know that for sure? In the Uncharted games it was not enough to play on normal to unlock crushing.

Thinking about investing in a 5.1 headset for this. I need one in general anyway but this is provoking the purchase like nothing else. Dunno if I want the Pulse Elite or a universal headset.
Hard and Survivor+ w/ Listen mode. Especially since Im gonna be OCD'ing with collectibles.
Headsets should practically be mandatory for this experience. I couldnt imagine playing something like this through regular television speakers. It's like doing the sound production team a massive disservice.

Every time i see something about IGN reviews i remember this
But yeah, it was expected, at least from OPM.

Hmm not clicking the link to avoid spoilers, but I take it, you can do a new game plus with any upgrades or such and beat it on the highest difficulty? If so that'd make platinuming it a heck of a lot easier than Uncharted (fuck Crushing difficulty...)

Next stage of infection he looks like this:
put some butter and salt on that bad boy, we're goin to the movies
I think that's a zombie monster thing and one could make the case that if it's decayed, then his head could fall apart more easily than a regular person. Then again, I've purposely been blocking myself from seeing too much media for the game so I don't even know if the monsters are zombies. We all know the real answer is just that we like seeing exploding heads for some morbid reason.
You're arguing about physics and realism in a game where you fight against people that have been taken over by a fungus to the point where their heads are being split open anyway.

What the hell is his knee made out of?
Guys tell me. Does this actually have a chance to *whispered voice* dethrone Uncharted 2?
Since Uncharted 2 was a good but not great game and TLoU looks absolutely amazing so far i´d say the chance is pretty high.
Please do everyone a favor and read a few posts above you.
He upgraded his knee.
I was bored to death with Uncharted 2 by a few hours in, but this has been my most anticipated game for over a year.
That had more to do with the circumstances surrounding the launch of U2 more than the game itself, I was invested in a lot of other games at the time.
Obviously something that can shred mushroom tissue to pieces.

Early review embargo hype train!
Everyone knows this is gonna be good, but I can't wait to see how good it is on a numerical scale!
